Ellison Building, Singapore (30 July 2017)
Ellison Building (GPS: 1.30466, 103.85031) is a historic building in the Selegie neighbourhood of Rochor, Singapore. Located at the junction of Selegie Road and Bukit Timah Road, it was built in 1924 by Romanian Jew Issac Ellison for his wife Flora. The building was gazetted for conservation in 2008, which spares it from demolition. However, part of the building's façade will have to be demolished and rebuilt because of the construction of North-South Corridor (NSC), a new expressway that will pass through the area.
The Ellison Building was sold to a property developer, Dennis Aw, in 1989. It changed hands once more, to another firm in the mid 1990s before it came into the hands of the Government.

About this website
Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
